I can tell you that many gyms and fitness centers around the world have been impacted by COVID-19 and have had to take additional health and safety measures to protect their members and employees.
Some common measures that gyms are taking to prevent the spread of COVID-19 include:
Limiting capacity and implementing social distancing protocols
Increasing cleaning and disinfecting procedures, especially in high-touch areas such as equipment, locker rooms, and bathrooms
Encouraging or requiring members to wear masks or face coverings while inside the gym
Providing hand sanitizer and wipes for members to use
Temporarily closing certain areas of the gym, such as saunas or steam rooms, to reduce the risk of transmission
It’s important to check with your specific gym or fitness center to see what measures they are taking to protect their members and employees during this time. You may also want to consider alternative forms of exercise, such as outdoor activities or at-home workouts, if you’re not comfortable returning to the gym yet.
